Oxford United vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Devesh Jaganath | in FA Cup Predictions
Arsenal’s sensational Premier League season will take a brief halt as their focus turns to cup football, where they will want to avoid an upset to lower-league opposition in Oxford United in the third round of the FA Cup on Monday night. The FA Cup’s most successful team is currently in pole position in the Premier League, with 44 points in 17 games. They lead reigning champs Manchester City by five points and are nine clear of third-placed Newcastle, who they played in their last match, which ended goalless. Their record this season includes 14 wins, two draws, and just one loss, which came against Manchester United, who they will face in the upcoming weeks. Arsenal will likely make wholesale changes for this match, with a couple of difficult league fixtures on the schedule, and Gunners fans will be hoping to see the return of Emille Smith Rowe, who will be expected the provide the creativity in this potentially tricky encounter.
Oxford comes into this match sitting 15th in League One, with 29 points in 24 games this season, including seven wins, eight draws, and nine losses. They’ve only managed one win in their last five matches, along with two draws and two losses. Oxford’s home record of late has been strong, losing only one of their last six matches on home soil, which came against Exeter City in their last match. The home side has a number of crucial players missing through injury, especially at the attacking end of the pitch, such as Kyle Joseph and Sam Baldock, which is going to make the task of overcoming the current best team in the land that much more difficult.
